In the year 2046, an even known as the Omnic Crisis occurred.
In a desperate bid to defeat the Omnics, a terrorist group known as Blackwatch was formed, led by two men named Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes.
After enslaving the Omnics, they proceeded to extort the world's governments.
Jack Morrison was promoted to leader of the Blackwatch Strike team for being much more aggressive and less empathetic- almost psychopathic, in fact- than his partner Reyes.
Reyes, believing that their forceful control of the world was harsh, formed a small side team named Overwatch to help people.
Morrison heard of this team, and decided that Reyes must be eliminated.
In a showdown, Reyes was 'killed', or so everyone except for the war criminal, ironically dubbed 'Mercy', thought.
Unknown to Morrison, he formed a ragtag group named Talon, made of people tired of being beaten down and who wanted to make a change.
Along with other founding members Amélie Lacroix and Jesse McCree, they collected a group consisting of people anywhere from Brazilian freedom fighters to Korean gamer girls.
In the year 2076 they begin their plan to rid the world of Blackwatch.
